Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" well hello America tonight I have to tell you that your freedom of speech is under attack. America's most precious right the one that leads directly to freedom of religion and freedom of the press freedom of speech. The supposed watchdogs of our republic being brutally and viciously assaulted. Here's what happened just today Jake Tapper asked Robert Gibbs on the plane today -- White House's war on Fox News. Gibbs responded quote. We render opinion based on some of their coverage and the fairness of that coverage tapper then says. That's a pretty sweeping declaration that they're not a news organization how different are they from say AB CNBC. Univision. Gibbs then says cooking fuel and I -- watts of -- around 9 o'clock tonight or five this afternoon. Whom -- Whoa I hope you're watching. Again. If I get any -- wrong. Coleman. We've chronicled the White House onslaught against Fox News over the last few days it has intensified over this last weekend. With the president's two main man. David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel by the way -- that we now have confirms sources inside the beltway confirming that this whole thing. Is that -- idea rom. Yeah. Well they were all -- CNN I think virtually using the exact same words to smear -- that's what it means when you don't have anything to back it up. Smear fox on their various Sunday talk show offenses. Where is the rest of the so called fourth estate on this are any of them crying -- thank you Jack tapper for a Jake Tapper for actually calling them out. It's anybody challenging the pathetic nature of these attacks does anybody see this is a really bad thing for our republic. Has a single one of these watchdogs when I say watchdogs I mean I mean -- gonna -- you you know what do you think of a watchdog because that's what they're supposed to be there watchdogs. Of our republic right. Here's the press press he -- even says prince."

" And move. A little --"

" it really scary. She's like shivering -- so afraid. This is our press now. Wouldn't be better to have like a really scare you hot stock you know. They -- they have dared. To hit the attackers of this channel. Consistently. Consistently during the news broadcasts. That they say you've got a present both sides really. Well I think we do here did did anybody dared -- even talk about that Pew Research Center they found that Fox's coverage. Of the 2008 election campaign was the most balance of any network. For the presidential candidates yeah. Now weird that weird he -- They also. Pointed out in fact I should say Hillary Clinton pointed out. The Fox News treated her more fairly than the others here's what she said."

" A lot of times when -- appreciated. The commentators and reporters on --"

" anybody pointed out that if its opinion or perspective. That the White House is concerned about. They might wanna look into the embarrassing thrill up their leg bias of MSNBC. The network is owned by -- my gut -- Wonder if they're going to benefit over at GE for the global warming stuff for the energy in the health care. Who knows. I bet that watch dog will figure it out. Isn't the CEO of GE -- of Barack Obama's economic advisory panel. It doesn't seem like it's a problem doesn't. This -- about Fox News sadly the other news organizations know that and they are silent anyway. They either become such cowards that they're willing to play along to get along. Or they're enjoying their new role as lap dogs for this administration rather than watch dogs for the republic. What is this about well it is about a multi pronged war on freedom of speech and it is waged by progressives on every single front we showed you this. Last night but -- there's so much more. It is happening all over all over in our. I'll voicing out that if the -- goes down. This White House plot make -- chalkboard artwork. It's about your freedom. And here it is it's happening everywhere first -- started education it's happening in the education. System meanwhile you're at work trying to put food on the table. Your kids are being indoctrinated. At school you know this. And all are equal in his site. These are things that we -- to have our children say about. Or sing about cheeses. I -- now we can't even -- about Jesus at Christmas let your kids are learning that it's Barack Obama -- decides equality. As early as elementary school our kids are now being taught that capitalism is wrong and even evil."

" Then along came the corporation now the reason corporation looks bigger than the government is that the corporation is bigger than the government. Of the 100 largest economies on -- now. 51 of corporations. And as the corporation has grown in size and power with little change in the government -- little more concern in the interim."

" Things working out for those guys -- for a year -- that's the one part of this I agree with what was that network in this. I can't remember now. Heaven forbid -- excluding this nonsense and your kids' brains. That they failed to tell them that all of the new legislation that has been bought and paid for -- union's global corporations and special interest is right around the corner. Maybe they don't tell them these things because they're too busy teaching your children. About cross dressing yes in elementary school you may have seen this. On Bill O'Reilly show here it is the --"

" I hit 100."

" Honestly why worry about -- On our college campuses in 2005. The last time a study of like this was done. 72% of professors identified themselves as liberal 15% conservative 72 to fifteen. And if anything my guess is it's much much worse right now. In our elite universities -- And 87% of professor said that they were liberal 87%. 13% conservative. Let me paraphrase the White House minions David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel and that Robert -- said. That that just doesn't seem right all I'm saying is it's about perspective. -- mean what kind of fair perspective are we getting from our universities. In the art world that's next art. The White House has enlisted the aid of the top artist in the country to push their agenda with your tax dollars -- it is."

" The that's a clear agenda. And has been. Very supportive. Of beauty art and putting our very creative ways. -- court that -- bad behavior in our country. Didn't get involved little things. Do you support for the president he would fit the bill to. Do you think that we -- actually -- victory for the president. I think that -- his administration."

" While the push the president and his administration state -- sponsored propaganda. Remember a couple years ago when it was discovered that the Pentagon was using propaganda to try to win the hearts and minds of the people in Iraq and Afghanistan the left with. -- evil George W. Bush how dare him engage in profit and dot. They're silent now is this president uses propaganda on his own people. You know I went to a Broadway play this weekend -- my wife and it was great it's called Memphis. It was fantastic -- I mean except for the -- songs and it about hope and change the tune it. They're about to have Glenn and all over the audience. Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod let me ask you guys gone up Broadway producers now -- help out when your agenda the way you'll see sergeant did -- the direction of Valerie Jarrett. And Buffy wicks. It sure it sure wouldn't be unprecedented. -- look at what the White House is accomplished with service week. All this week on television we showed you last night Michelle Obama announcing this service week initiative -- old. By the way. They're also invite invading. Your comic pages today -- asked me. This -- all about volunteer work. Same on television sixty programs are incorporating some kind of service or volunteer -- into their shelves. Now some will say that's just easier for the media to do what the president asked them to do. You know all of -- whenever there's our request like this the networks comply because they don't want axles. With their license being renewed or whatever the other government interference that could come about from non compliance. But is it is that what it's really about is this about serve this war. Is this now -- out. A never ending campaign. Buffy wicks remember. The white house office of public engagement deputy director Buffy wicks she was -- with the any day. She now says this. Quote part of my role at the White House is working on service and so when we were thinking about how to how do we take a lot of this energy that's out there. Probably translates -- who have just been engaged in -- politics. And engage them in the really the process of governing and being part. Of this administration. In a little bit of a different way because politics is one thing in governing -- something totally separate. We really saw service is the platform by which we can do that. Did you do want to help people -- know what though it was to do -- to be a part of the administration. -- about serving the country. Helping the administration so in other words if I may translate to ask not what this country could do for you'll. Ask what you can do for this administration the -- hole and by the way I know how you can help. You can help them by by helping sign away US sovereignty yes in the next few weeks under the new global warming treaty. You know this is the way to help Barack Obama. It really. Is the best way to do is just watch some of the -- you know of green week. Green week is really something special for broadcast television especially. Oh my goodness especially at GE owned NBC he -- but. What coal. NBC has their primetime lineup of participating in fascinating Greene story lines. When the now annual event comes around and who could forget the very special green event back in 2007. When NBC did their NFL half time show. By candlelight."

" As part of NBC universal's Green Is Universal initiative we have turned out the lights in the studio. To kick off a week that will include more than 150 hours of programming designed to raise awareness about environmental issues -- actually live somewhere. In the Arctic Circle hello --"

" I -- think of all the electricity and say. I'm sure that it made up for the flying their reporters all over the world in jets. To some of the most -- remote locations on earth with cameras and crews to cover the horrifying scenes of global warming. In the frigid cold of the Arctic among other exotic locales I'm sure the electricity saved using candles in the studio act. Time off sex all of that. That's a key into the story that came out yesterday on Arnold Schwarzenegger who of course is all about global warming -- gave the final -- He -- is gulfstream. That's a jet to get to work. He's just signed an environmental bill it's an -- it's an exemption bill to clear the way for a new NFL football stadium in Los Angeles so let me get this right. -- Arnold Schwarzenegger really really believe that saving the planet. You know and the environment and protecting the earth from the room -- of climate change and -- I mean unless I really need to get to work really fast you know. In a jet or if LA is trying to wolf football team when that be great but other than that I care about the planet. When that will America say enough to all of this nano. -- second thought you'd better keep that to yourself especially it's about global warming because you know there. They're listening to your kids now. You see your kids can see the effects of this settled science of global warming they can see it better than Yucatan. The -- probably because they watch movies Hollywood you know the big screen."

" There's going to be so called you could freeze to death in seconds. What we do we do not go outside to."

" Human being knows this is not about climate change what is it about. It is about the redistribution of wealth or what are they calling about environmental justice. But that's okay because Michael Moore. Is teaching us now that redistribution of wealth is okay because capitalism. Is evil."

" We're gonna get the money back for the American people. In the stance on. Just hit the bag to get up there. Philadelphia. I got more bags at ten million probably won't fit in here."

" Okay so I'm just looking at the progressive agenda what -- we have so far it has -- education art movies. TV. You know yeah I mean it's all there the same mindset is reflected in the newspapers all across this country. Nearly all of the papers are failing why because there's nothing in them that you believe. So there's one area where the attacks will end. Right. Not the newspapers now. President Obama says he's gonna help save the papers helps save journalism he says quote I haven't seen detailed proposals yet but I'm happy to look at them. How are so I -- education arts primetime TV broadcast news CNN MSNBC movies. Newspapers all promoting the progressive agenda. -- Well at least there's still the Internet. And up until maybe Thursday you'd be right. This week the so called net neutrality issue comes up again in congress. Here is yet another example of your freedom of speech that is being threatened in the name of protecting -- and you know from the big bad evil money making corporations. Oh hello. In this case it's the Internet service providers. You can still exercise your freedom of speech well. Calling up your favorite talk show -- no no I forgot you there again need to be protected from big bad evil money making non diverse corporations. The fact that there are plenty of liberal talk stations that nobody listens to makes no difference to them. The fact that you have chosen to listen to a certain radio show and you couldn't choose to stop at any time that's meaningless. They want you to be able to choose to end the life of an unborn child. But choose to listen to the Glenn Beck program that's destructive."

" What we're really saying -- deductions not enough."

" But did -- position where you have. Have to say who is going to step down and so someone else can have power."

" Thousand to two great speeches you should hear them all that are older -- So. When I come tube tonight and I talked to about. Fox cable TV in -- this is in trouble -- don't know. That's not about that you can see the effort to silence Fox News. Is just the most visible target in the war on free speech."

" Way to look at in the way we the president also we look at is. It's not a news organizations sources. It has a perspective. They're not really -- new station if you watch even it's not just their commentators but a lot of their news programming it's really not news it's pushing the point of view. It's pushing a point of view. And the other networks have a different point you."

" That's weird -- almost sounds like diversity. Brit I mean -- I'm confused how could the administration through the FCC be pushing for diversity. And at the same time trying to decide to silenced all bulls with a differing opinion. On radio TV arts movies newspapers I -- what does that leave you -- yes America you are safe your right to assemble for free speech. -- no now wait a minute that too is at stake -- Or call. The tea parties."

" I song. I saw this myself I'm. You know -- seven -- San Francisco this kind of I'm hopeful rhetoric was this was very frightening and it gave it created a climate in which would. Violence. Took place this is -- Dating a black man in the White House this is racism straight up that is nothing but a bunch of T Manning rednecks."

" of those viewer watching watching certain news channels that you know which I'm not very popular."

" You think folks where -- empty bags around. There's -- America this is a full frontal assault on every avenue of free speech that disagrees with this administration. I was going to unveil what's beneath this blue curtain today. But I changed my mind and wait I'm gonna wait because I think that it's important. For you to understand the scope of this. That they are already indoctrinated in you or they already have control of everything and they're going to grab up more. What is motivating the White House to launch this unprecedented attack on Fox News it's -- slack -- down and get us to shut up. But now that you have this background. What's behind this will carry much much more weight especially when you see. The scary folks involved. Stay with us this week as we uncover the effort to take away your first amendment rights America. Wake up please open your ears and your eyes on this I know you are awake. Just -- your neighbors we'll show you the people involved and the underhanded ways they are trying to pull it off. Now instead of holding chairman Mao in such high regard how about how about we -- in high regard maybe I don't know. Our founding fathers all I've got one for -- I'm gonna share. Next."
